Brewers hitting their stride

White Sox still losing
The White Sox haven’t been able to find any consistency when it comes to winning. They enter this weekend having lost four straight and six of their last seven. The Sox are now 16-37 overall and 8-18 at home. Chicago is putting up 3.94 runs per game this season while allowing 5.53 per contest.

MLB Betting Trends
Milwaukee
The Brewers have won six of their last seven series openers and four of their last five interleague road games. They also have won 10 of their last 13 on the road.
Chicago
The White Sox are just 2-7 in their last nine interleague home games. They are also 5-18 in their last 23 games against NL Central opponents.
Prediction:
The Brewers are rolling right now and I don’t see the White Sox being able to slow them down. Chicago doesn’t have a dominant pitcher to slow down Milwaukee’s recent hitting uptick and the Sox certainly don’t have the hitting to light up this strong Brewers’ staff.
The Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -135
